All of the products in the palette are universally flattering and deliver luminescence to every skin tone. Unlike traditional powders, which tend to be flat, Ambient Lighting products use Photoluminescent Technology to filter out harsh light and refine the appearance of your complexion. It enhances your complexion in any type of light, including flash photography. The optically transparent particles in the blush and bronzer allow for seamless blending, color transitions and natural contouring and are blended by hand using an advanced mixing technique that creates the perfect balance of pigments in a gorgeous natural pattern. No two are alike.

There are so many amazing beauty buys. My problem is that the sets I like all seem to have at least one product in them that I own already. I love the Laura Mercier but I own about 4 of the e/s shades for example. I'm sure none of that will stop me though.

There really are! I know what you mean– that's definitely the case for people like us– who have crazy-sized stashes, but they are such a tremendous value– particularly for people who don't have insane-sized stashes!

I love that you included so many awesome beauties for this sale for me to look at. I do have a few of these items already in my possession and enjoy them. I had been looking at those water bottles now for about a year and when I finally got a good look at them, I realized they were just too small for me... I carry my 40oz hydroflask with me because I drink a ton of water while out and about and if I don't use that - I use my 32oz... I felt like there was not enough water for me... but I love how cute they are. Thanks for sharing your list.

Thanks, Honey! They have so many great buys! These bottles are definitely smaller, but I got one anyway because sometimes I don't want to carry my super big S'well bottle. You are very wise for drinking so much water!
